Where Google Chrome security fails: the password
I heard mention that the Chrome OS will have some sort of encryption available a la bitlocker. If it's possible to encrypt personal data using another password or key, then it may have potential for very secure data.... And Ubuntu has an 'encrypt home directory' option, perhaps google should follow suit.

Obviously the author has not
Obviously the author has not met my daughters and their girlfriends, all married with children. Every single one of them were talking at a party about being able to touchscreen their PC's in the kitchen. If 6 women in one tiny party want it, I'd venture to say that "one HELL of a lot of other women" would give their eyeteeth for one also. Some of these women were waitresses before starting families and they used them at work and loved them. One of my daughters even remarked, "It's a hell of a lot easier to clean a touchscreen than a keyboard".I strongly disagree with
I strongly disagree with this article's views. Mr. Reisinger thinks Windows Seven is ridiculous, but I, for one, think it is a good idea. Touchscreen capability is the future. However, it is utterly ridiculous to assume that Windows 7 will not have mouse and keyboard support. Once again, Mr. Reisinger has written a completely biased, uninformed and uninformative article that does nothing except tell people what a biased person Mr. Reisinger is. Mr. Reisinger should stop writing such low-quality articles and leave writing articles to people who actually know what they are doing.Dear "Anonymous", Huh? Did
Dear "Anonymous",Huh? Did you read my column? This isn't a discussion on bias, but a discussion on what I think is wrong with Windows 7. You mention that I'm uninformed and my column is "uninformative" and yet, the only comment you can squeak out revolves around your belief that touchscreens are the future without any support for that argument. While that may be true in certain rudimentary set-ups, I'd really like to see how that technology will translate on Windows. The way I see it, Windows 7 IS NOT the way to do it.
I understand that you disagree, but if you want to actually add something to the discussion, say something constructive. Otherwise, it's a waste of time.

Windows 7...
How can you say that Windows 7 is all wrong you have not even seen it yet. It is not even on a single home computer (legally) in the US yet. HOW THE HELL CAN YOU SAY IT IS WRONG WHEN YOU HAVE NOT SEEN IT.Wow
Don,This has to be the most uniformed article I've read thus far concerning Windows 7.
Quote: "What about implementation? If Windows 7 is designed specifically to use a touchscreen, what does that mean for Dell, Lenovo, Acer, and others? Will they be forced to add new, expensive functionality to an already barely profitable machine? Certainly those companies would have something to say about Microsoft's unilateral foray into the future, right?"
Talk about completely uninformed. The whole premise for your argument is false. Designed specifically to use a touchscreen? What? Where in the world are you getting your information from? It is not designed specifically for touch. Granted, they are going to implement multi-touch support, but that won't force companies to implement touch on all their computers. They will just be given the option to. I'm posting this article on a Firefox browser running on, yep, you guessed it, Windows 7 beta. And, believe me, my keyboard and mouse are working just fine.
I will admit to being biased toward Windows (except Vista, which stunk); you won't admit to being biased against it. Why else would you write an article slamming an OS that you obviously know nothing about? If it wasn't for the fact that people might read your article and believe what you say, I would have just laughed you off as some Windows-hater.
To everyone else:
I am currently using Windows 7 beta and am pretty impressed with it. It's much faster than Vista (after all what isn't?), and it is faster than XP was on my computer. I am running it on an 200 gig IDE hard drive, with 1 gig of RAM, and a 2.4ghz single-core processor. It has crashed a couple of times, but that was because of a video card compatibility problem which I fixed. It is great with networking (unlike vista, which had all sorts of networking problems), and it is fantastic with drivers. Most of the time when I plug in a device, I don't even need to install a driver for it; it finds one online and installs it for me.
As I said, I am very impressed thus far.
I like to refer to Windows 7 as "Vista as it should have been."

I agree with this author,
I agree with this author, touch screen is not user friendly in my eyes, and what about people who have just gone out and bought expensive 20+ inch screens? Are they going to have to buy another one that has touchscreen and that's even more expensive. The look of windows seven look rubbish as well. Whats going on, they should just sort out vista.replica bags
